Just curious on everyone's thoughts about the new rule the ATF is trying to put into place regarding changing their mind from 3 years ago regarding pistol braces now being considered stocks and wanting millions of people to now register their firearms as an SBR and giving a 120 grace period and not have to pay the $200 tax stamp for it. I'm wondering it it'll go into effect and then be overturned at a later date like the bump stocks did? If it affects you, do you plan on registering it, adding a longer barrel and turn it into a rifle, or not do anything?

How big is the Bucket????
It's a box of 50. Just kidding, I have no idea but I couldn't help myself with how ridiculous ammo pricing was in the past.

I saw this on the BookFace and it made me laugh.

To me it just looks like some sort of universal application. It looks like they just bolted it to that plastic, I personally would not do that. There are other wings out there that securely attach to the roll hoops or the sub frame underneath. NRG, Twist Dynamics, and Tricline all make them. All can be found at all things slingshot or sling mods. I'm sure with a little googling you may even be able to find them elsewhere or something that will work for you. Or if you've got some fabrication skills, find something you like and make it work.

That thing looks like a blast. Price is scary though.
https://ridereview.com/vehicles/daymak-spiritus
Wow, 0 to 60 in under 2 seconds.
7 Reasons to Buy the Daymak Spiritus
- This vehicle is more environmentally friendly than traditional individual vehicles, as it does not produce emissions.
- Easier to ride than a traditional vehicle, as it has an electric motor that assists with pedaling.
- More versatile than other options, as it can be ridden on pavement and off-road trails.
- Offers a unique riding experience that is both comfortable and efficient.
- Has a powerful motor that provides assisted pedaling, making it easier to ride up hills or over long distances.
- The EV’s battery can be easily recharged, making it convenient for daily use.
- Has various useful features, including a headlight, taillight, and horn.
I wonder if these are the "off-road trails" they are talking about?

I was saddened to read about the passing of Ken Block. He was an icon in the Motorsports industry and will be missed. I really hope his daughter and friends carry on the Gymkhana legacy.

Got my Ruger .22lr precision to the range yesterday
I've been wanting to grab one of these in .22mag. I had one in 6.5 and it was awesome.

What do you get to the wheels HHP wise on your 1 mile setup?
+1 for effort
We actually talked about doing this at one point. In theory, if we used 3 of the TiAL Xona Rotor turbos I'm running plus the spray it would be good for roughly 1100-1300whp. The real question would be would the block hold. I am running our girdled race block which has been to 900whp in our shop Cobalt without failure. But that is the most we have ever made on a single turbo setup. And then comes the question, how do you realistically put all that power to the ground in a slingshot? Even with bead locks and slicks or drag radials,it would probably take the 1st 1/2mi before you could really give it the beans.

I think I found the guys who want in on the next 1 mile speed runs you guys are going to have next year
Looks like I'm going to have to put the triple compound turbo setup back on the Slingshot. This may also be the worst photoshop I've ever done. lol
-
No I built it and painted it last year to look like that...
Wow, that is awesome. Well done sir, well done.
-
And I have a 2006 unlimited truck.....I will probably sell this for Aptera next year.....So then all three my vehicles will be 3 wheelers ..
Is that how it came from the factory? That's awesome! Love that sharkskin grey color also.

I guess I should not have said anything.
I most certainly did not mean to denigrate anyone's personal taste.
After all, I bought my 2015 fast grey 6 months before they were even in production.
So after 7 years, I decided to change the looks of it a little.
I changed the front fenders, modified the hood, added doors, added dual rear tires and reworked the rear end a little.
And added a little paint and got exactly what I wanted.
HEHEHEHEHE
I've always liked those. Growing up, my father had a friend named Scott Hanish that collected them. He had 4. He claimed he had the 1st and last off the production line. I remember at least one of them having a matching trailer. I really like that color of yours.

Trying to decide between the Zarate rear spoiler or a one-piece fiberglass one. Anyone have any pictures of the Zarate mounted up. Thanks Todd
Figured I would chime in since a lot of the comments were trashing another companies products/putting you down for looking into what you may want use to personalize your sling to your tastes with that weren't at all helpful to what you were asking.. The responses felt like a lot of the keyboard warrior stuff I see over on FaceBook which I'm not used to seeing here so it was a little surprising. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion but I guess if I don't personally like someones choice in mods, I just keep scrolling onto the next post.
Below are a couple pics of Mark Zarate's Sling with the rear 2 piece upper wing I THINK you are referring to. There is also a pic of mine with a full rear wing like I think you are referring to. Mine is from Underground Auto Styling out of Sarasota FL. You can find it here https://www.universalaudiosolu…ris_Slingshot_Wing.html#/ I purchased the large/long size. Hope this helps a little. If you have any additional questions feel free to reach out directly here on the forum or you can always email me directly at kyle@zzperformance.com If you're on FaceBook I can be found on there and their messenger service as well. Hope you find what you're looking for.

Happy Birthday! Looking forward to more military stories in Maggie next year by the creek.

Oh, got ya. Well, then you are stuck with the front exit exhausts then as Twist Dynamics (Welter Performance) dropped the 2.5" dual and outsider systems. That or have a custom shop modify a ZZP exhaust.
Hey Kyle D got any ideas?
We have a redesign in process that would make it compatible with the SC kits and be compliant with emissions on the way. We already finished the redesign of the exhausts for our turbo kit, NA kit., and our upcoming quad kit rear exit and front exit.
